Stop complaining! Stop complaining! Puyuan is not that bad!

I really wanted to go last year, but I couldn't fit it into my schedule. Finally, I made it to Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town during the Qingming Festival holiday! I took amazing photos of the town during the day and at night! Compared to other ancient towns in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, there are very few tourists here. And the Puyuan building complex is huge! I didn't have to wait at all to take photos at any of the popular spots. I was the only one in the scenic area wearing a red Hanfu, which really stood out in this ink-style ancient town. I was being photographed everywhere I went. (Night photos are in P12-16) ✅️Photo guide: 1⃣ Shufang Zen Garden: A classic and must-see spot. The lighting is better in the evening. 2⃣ Beigeng Tower: Limited-time wisteria waterfall in April! It's stunning! There are also riverside crabapple blossoms that look like white snow in the distance! 3⃣ Fushan Temple: You can go inside and take photos during the day. The ginkgo trees are just starting to turn green. Although they are not as beautiful as in autumn, the architecture is truly stunning. The arched stone bridge is at the main entrance. 4⃣ Tingyu Pavilion: They create artificial rain even when it's not raining! I've never seen anything like it! 5⃣ Puyuan has many window views and framed scenes. You can discover amazing corners everywhere you go. ⚠️Many people may not like Puyuan, as the core commercial area is only around Siwan Street and Lazhu Street. Other places are practically empty. But! It's really great for taking photos! And I personally prefer this kind of cool and new style ancient town. I'm tired of the traditional ancient towns that are all decked out in red and green lights at night. 🚗Transportation: 1⃣ 1.5-2h drive from Hangzhou/Shanghai 2⃣ 40min taxi ride from Tongxiang Station/Jiaxing South Station 🏨Accommodation: ✅️Pujin Hotel: Around 600/night, includes two entrance tickets. They offer welcome fruit, and the front desk helps with luggage to your room. It's a 2-minute walk across the street to the visitor center.
